Girl Name - January

in Baby Names
What do you think? Our last name is very short, just one syllable so I think that a longer first name will sound just fine but I worry that it's too uncommon and people we'll think I'm a weirdo or naming my kid after January Jones.

    It's not my style at all but I wouldn't think you were a "weirdo". I'd probably just assume she was born in January! Wink

    Yes, I would think you named your kid for January Jones.  Before she came into the spotlight, was it ever really used as a name?

    NMS.

    I like it, just as long as she a) isn't born in January and b) doesn't have siblings names April, May, or June.

    To me it's no weirder than April, May, June or August(a)(us).  It's NMS though.

    NMS but I've never understood people naming their children after months, sorry.

     Yup ^^

    What about Julianna? Has the multiple syllables and the "J", but it's much much much prettier.

    Not a fan.  But then again, I'm not a fan of any month names.  There are millions of names to pick from; I'd rather not use one of the 12 used for months.

    I think it would be cute. BTW, I was born in January, so my opinion may be bias LOL

    I actually really love it and I wouldn't immediately think of January Jones, mostly because I don't really know anything about her anyway.

    I don't get odd month names (April, May/Mae, June are not odd), so I'd think it was odd to hear a girl named January.  I'd also think you were a pretty big January Jones fan.

    How is January classy?  I would not want to be saddled with the name January. I would go for Juliana.

    Thanks for the input everyone.  Even with so many people saying they hate it, I still really like it.  I'll keep it on our short list for now.

    I'm not into the "months" names, but I wouldn't side eye it. It automatically makes me think of January Jones though.

    I don't like it, especially since you're due in January. I actually really like April, May and June though...

    I definitely wouldn't think you were crazy  but if I didn't know you I would automatically think January Jones since she is the only one I have ever heard of
